I have a need to periodically extract a certificate from another automated 
process and not being a Windows programmer (I work in a different programming 
discipline) I find that a command line 'openssl s_client -connect "uri.com:443" 
> cert.txt' does exactly what I need it to do.

In AIX (our preferred version of Unix) this executes and returns to the command 
line in less than 1 second.  In Windows however, this executes, whites out the 
text file in under a second but the "openssl" command itself does not return to 
the command line for another 28 to 30 seconds.  Since we are operating 
synchronously, this imposes a significant delay on our
